The thought just occurred earlier that all that fukkery was to raise the profile of that flag... which would've been fine in a 'Did you know?' manner but the approach across twitter was condescending and self righteous. That's been the trend over the past few years if we're being real. The patriotically woke has a habit of antagonizing Pan Africanists for one reason or another regularly-- and at the end of the day it doesn't amount to much anything but engagements and eyeballs and I think that's all they want.I'm surprised that flag was even okay with them. The Black American Heritage flag spread organically (it's that damn fire) and a lot of the people kicking off this debate were in the same condescending/self righteous tone and tried to tell people that 'our flag is the American flag'. As far as I can tell we're really not "supposed" to have much agency outside of confines that America as laid out for us in their minds.
We’ll both those holidays are based on things that didn’t exist and are just made up
That's the whole point, I'm peeping the game. They want the back and forth to raise their profile. They need us, we don't need them.
Now you’re just making shyt up.
I’m not flying a flag that has a Texas fukking star on it. You might as well fly a Confederate flag, from which that star comes from being one of the original Confederate states.
Original Confederate Flag:
Texas State Flag:
That Texas Star don’t represent my people, don’t represent black Americans. 95% of black Americans have no ties to Texas. And 99% of us were freed at the emancipation proclamation.
Juneteenth should have been made a Texas state holiday not a National holiday as it holds no meaning for majority of us that are slave descendants except for those that reside in Texas.
Growing up in Texas and being to many cookouts, parades, etc., I never seen the RBG flag either. But the BA heritage flag. Loved the flag and the history of it the moment I found out about it a few years ago.
